Try restoring Mac X through the CD/DVD there is an option to import existing accounts and data. but, you need to be careful doing that

that will allow you to reset the password of any account on the disk to whatever you want. as long as the version of your installation media is equal to or newer(?) than the version of osx you have installed.
